Talent Attraction and International Mobility

GTCI 2015-16

Launched for the first time in 2013, the Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) is an annual benchmarking report that measures the ability of countries to compete for talent. The report ranks over 100 countries according to their ability to grow, attract and retain talent.

Much more than an international league table of talent, the GTCI report provides a tool-kit for governments, businesses and non-profit organisations throughout the world. Its wealth of data, analysis and national scoreboards is intended as food for thought as well as inspiration for investment and action.

The GTCI combines the academic research and expertise of INSEAD, the international business school, and the Singapore’s Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) with the business experience and perspective of Adecco, the world leader in Human Resources solutions.

GTCI 2015-16 focuses on the highly topical issue of international mobility and its impact on talent competitiveness, tying in neatly with the overall WEF 2016 theme: ‘Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution’.

Citing the concrete example of talent champion countries, GTCI 2015-16 demonstrates that mobility is key to fostering networks, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and ultimately, developing talent. It also highlights the relevance of talent mobility as a core dimension of growth and development strategies of both governments and businesses.

The January 19th launch event will feature global talent experts and talent mobility advocates discussing the GTCI’s findings, including the role of superior management practice in attracting talent, the value of mobility to tackle the challenges of ageing, skills shortages and unemployment, the emergence of new talent magnets, and the notion of ‘brain circulation’.
